[S-OFF] BLACKROSE (Custom HBOOT) [2012.04.21]

GuestX0019 · Apr 22, 2012

Also, unless you are using MIUI, you don't even need to change the layout. I keep 220/16/200 for ICS/Sense/CM7 with no issues--

You don't need to uninstall Blackrose to use Gingerbread ROMs. Just repartition your layout and flash via fastboot the customized partition.

ok but everytime i open blackrose its says cannot find files and quickly say hboot it corrupted and the phone boots but just stays at the nexus logo

can you boot into bootloader then recovery---hold down pwr and trackball at same time

also do you use sdk to use fastboot commands?

you probably lost recovery

if so, you will need to fastboot a new recovery thru android sdk

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img where recovery.img is exact name of recovery

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Nexus_One/Recovery_Images#Installing_a_Recovery_Image

don't need the stock recovery image in this case

but you do need to put the .img file in where you can change directory to it (cd), i do my android sdk tolls folder

Did you try to do adb devices and fastboot devices to see it recognizes your phone? If not, that means you have not installed ADB or fastboot. Download Android SDK and then install and set the environment for it to work and then try to do the blackrose again.

Iguess i have it all installed it recognizes the phone.

well here is an sdk link and adb info

http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/

i have tools not platform-tools depends on sdk version

my path is C:/ android/android-sdk-windows/tools yours may vary

so at command window when you first open it i type

cd/

cd android/android-sdk-windows/tools

then i type adb devices with phone just plugged in and not in fastboot, right after tools, not on a new line

or fastboot devices if phone is booted into fastboot bootloader

anyway to use adb you just plug phone into computer with usb debugging selected on phone, do not be booted into fastboot

to use fastboot you must be booted into fastboot mode--pwr and trackball pressed at same time and you are in fastboot

can you type fastboot devices while booted into fastboot mode and tell us what comes up on screen

if you are to that point you may need to fastboot a new hboot to get adb working

take the first two files and put them in your tools folder or wherever your fastboot.exe file is. you have to cd to that directory in command window first, then fastboot devices to make sure phone is recognized

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28338566/go2.lol

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28338566/hboot_blackrose.nb0

the go2.lol is BR dated 12/31/2011

after fastboot devices type:

Type fastboot boot go2.lol
Type fastboot flash hboot hboot_blackrose.nb0
Type fastboot reboot-bootloader to see if you have new hboot

it will be stock partition sizes 145/96/xxx

to change to ICS table size you dl below link to get hexeditor and use it to change to 220/16/200

to do that open the hexeditor and browse to where you have the above hboot_blackrose.nb0. then use the slider to change partition sizes

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28338566/SPLHexEditor_111006.exe

you can rename it hboot_brcust.nb0 to identify it as new hboot

you can always use hexeditor to check hboot file sizes before fastbooting it

There is no need really to install the SDK. If you are already using adb and fastboot, the SDK won't give you anything more.

One question: did you extract the files you are using? What I'm asking is: you are not trying to run binaries from with some sort of archive, like a zip are you?

i tried those commands and put those file in the folder with fastboot and it did not work i think the problem is that its protected cuase i keep that and i try to put every password i could put but nothing.

GuestX0019 · Apr 23, 2012

i don't know anything about passwords with using fastboot

are you sure you are changing directories correctly to get to the folder with fastboot

thanks for helping efrant, based on screenshots and posts do you think he has sdk setup and drivers installed

once to that point i thought fastbooting a new hboot would resolve the problem on first screenshot--may be wrong

GuestX0019 · Apr 23, 2012

ok i understand now

that problem is talked about in thread. efrant and taodan had some posts

dla5244 mentions it in OP, so maybe a solution, not sure

his latest version in OP 120421 is the one that mentions it

it may have just been posted

maybe you can fastboot the go2.lol and hboot from there from there, don't know

so you can type fastboot devices and see phone now--

No this cant be flashed in recovery. its a custom bootloader which allows you to alter partition sizes of /system, /cache, /data
yes this can be installed wid locked bootloader.
go thru the videos in the first page and read carefully before applying blackrose.

Once you have a version of Blackrose already installed on your device, you should be able to package up any subsequent hboot you want to flash in a CWM-flashable format, and you should be able to flash it in recovery.

thanx for clarifying efrant

so after installing blackrose, then a. nb0 file can be flashed via recovery in a zip format?
but i suppose yogibogi was asking abt installing it for the first time via recovery
